MMA – The shock could arrive soon. In this sense, Kamaru Usman thinks he will stop Khamzat Chimaev.
Kamaru Usman vs Khamzat Chimaev is a bit of a dream duel among welterweights. Unfortunately, the Nigerian is no longer champion, but even without the belt, the duel is enticing on paper. If the opposition is not yet official, the two athletes regularly exchange through the media. Lately, it is the former champion who went to his provocation via Twitter. Thus, Kamaru Usman announces that he will “ stop ” Khamzat Chimaev.
I stop him in 4. Watch the tapes 😤😤

4 rounds max
Despite no longer being on the welterweight throne, the Nigerian Nightmare is not lacking in confidence. It must be said that his CV speaks for itself. Apart from Leon Edwards, no one in the UFC has managed to put Usman down. This is probably why the latter believes that he will “ stop Khamzat in 4 rounds ”.
The response from “ Borz ” was not long in coming. In order to tease the prediction of his potential future opponent, Chimaev called Usman “ Mysticmusman ”, in reference to Conor McGregor’s nickname.

While Khamzat Chimaev was rather announced in middleweight, this could delay his change of category to the UFC. If they win, both Khamzat and Kamaru could get an immediate title shot.
